Islamabad: Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan described US President Donald Trump’s recognition of Pakistan’s anti-terrorism efforts during his trip to India as a diplomatic win for Islamabad.

During a meeting of the federal cabinet, the premier observed that New Delhi’s nefarious designs against Islamabad had been thwarted and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi had failed to sell his anti-Pakistan narrative to the US president, The Express Tribune reported.

Briefing the media about the meeting, PM’s aide on information Firdous Ashiq Awan said the cabinet had approved the ‘National Education Plan 2020’ aimed at introducing a uniform curriculum across the country and mainstreaming madrassas. The plan includes a framework for enrolling out-of-school children and educating illiterate adults. 

The cabinet also allowed a three-month extension in the service of Syed Muhammad Mehr Ali Shah as the Indus water commissioner. It approved weapon licences for Wapda security force officials deployed at the site of Diamer-Bhasha dam and the appointment of Sikandar Khan as the judge of special court for the control of narcotic substances in Islamabad.
